Have a wonderful Christmas and take it easy on the nog...trust me on this.
The familiar Santa image is by commercial artist Haddon Sundblom, who
illustrated Santa for the Coca Cola Company from 1931 to 1964 and helped cement (but didn't create) the most familiar image of the jolly Santa in the minds of most Americans. (For a special adult bonus, google up an image search on "Haddon Sundblom pinup" -- not always work safe.)
For a decidedly family-friendly activity, you can't do better than re-reading one of my favorites: How the Grinch Stole Christmas

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

Thanks for the Christmas wishes! And Happy Chanukah to you!
Merry Christmas, Sol!
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
Hi Sol,
Sounds like you had a great trip to Israel. I don't suppose you got to Bethlehem, a place that seems so sad now that it's controlled by Hamas. There's a digital Christmas stocking for you over at Business of Life http://www.estatevaults.com/bol/archives/2006/12/23/a_digital_chris.html, a couple of things you'd be interested in .
Happy Holidays
Christmas is over now, Chanukah is long gone, and today Kwanzaa has officially begun. Happy Kwanzaa, everybody! I hope you've made plans, Sol.
